A Shift to Humility: Resilience & Change
Andrew Zolli, the curator and executive director of PopTech, was interviewing a farmer in Kenya where climate effects have dramatically shifted rain patterns to the point where their crops have stopped growing. These farmers, mostly women, have had to leave their homes near schools, hospitals, and fixed infrastructure in order to survive. During the interview, she looked at Zolli in the eye and said, "You're coming here to study me. But I have to tell you, I am your future."
BE THE CHANGE
Do one thing today that reminds you to see past your own ego, whether it's recycling something on the street, opening a door for someone, or noticing if someone needs a smile. Today is all about remembering that we're all in this together.
